• 3:01
  Speaker 1: upcoming events important? It builds anticipation. When you announce an
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: event ahead of time, you give your audience something to
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: look forward to. This creates excitement and it keeps your
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: audience engaged. It boots participation. The earlier your followers know
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: about the event, the more likely they're able to attend,
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: share and support showcase active involvement. Regularly participate participate in
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: any events or collaboration signals to your audience that you
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: are active, professional and in demand. How do you expand
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: your reach? You reach out to podcasts, you reach out goner,
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: you some interviews, collaborate with some individuals. Hence, look, when
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: you collaborate with other people, it gives you an opportunity
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: to be a part of their platform when you do
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: collaboration projects. This is why I tell people when you
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: do collaboration projects, it's important that you get to know
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: the people that is a part of the collaboration project with. You.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: Don't think that you just have to stay focused on
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: that one thing that you're doing, but utilize if you're
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: in a project with three hundred and sixty five people,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: that means you got three hundred and sixty four people
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: that you can collaborate with that you can nectwork. If
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: you're part of any of the books that I've done,
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: the poetry books of some of I did a three
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: book series and there were seven individuals that were in
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: all three of the series. They was in all three
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: other books, so they had an opportunity to connect with
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: the first book there was I think twenty people. The
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: second book there was like thirty people, and then the
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: last book there was like forty people, so they had
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: opportunity to connect with all of those people. Now, what
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: you do once you get in the midst of them,
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: that is totally up to you, but there is an opportunity.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: That's why I said, you have to utilize these opportunities. Y'all.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: Utilize these opportunities to cross cross promote, and to amplify
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: the things that you're doing. Types of opportunities. To announce
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: your book readings. When when you're having a virtual or
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: in person event, you should announce these things. Let people
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: know what's going on, even share exerts from your upcoming
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: book event so that people know what's gonna take place
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: at that event. Book signings, you can get connected with

  Speaker 1: Just just staying aware of the opportunity that's around you, y'all.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: Podcasts and interviews, even just going live on TikTok on Instagram,
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: on Facebook, substat just different places, utilizing blogs, usializing your

  Speaker 1: lot of panels on TikTok. So if you don't see
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: a panel that that you want to join, create your
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: learn how to create your own table and allow other
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: people to come and build. Some people may be needing
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: that same space that you you are needed. So if
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: you see that that space is not there, sometimes you
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: got to create your own space. It may not be
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: so big and elaborate right off the bat. You gotta
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: put into work. You gotta build it, make it what
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: you want it to be. But you gotta start somewhere.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: The point is, we gotta start. We gotta start somewhere.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: Collaborations is is a key. Collaborations is a must, like
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: joint ventures with other authors of the creators of the organization.

• 9:21
  Speaker 1: to get your brands out there, and we want to
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: make sure that we are announcing these things. When and
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: how to announce your upcoming events timing is key. A
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: lot of people start making announcements six to eight weeks,
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: but the normal two to four weeks in advance to
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: maximize visibility. But some even start a year ahead of time.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: It's all about how you want to engage with those
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: that you want to be there. If you really want
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: to establish a trustworthy, respectable event or movement, you got
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: a plan and you gotta build a team. Build a
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: team so that you can have perspectives, different perspectives. You
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: can have different people working on different things and y'all
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: can all come together. When and how to make announcements
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: on platforms, So use your website, event pages, email out newsletters,
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: use your social media Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, TikTok, sub stack.

  Speaker 1: We also have event Pacific platforms like event bright. There
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: are a couple of other platforms like event bright, good Reads.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: I can't think of the platforms, but there are several
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: other platforms that are just like event right where you
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: can organize an event and you can have people sign up,
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: you can talk about the event, you can sell tickets,
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: you can do all of that just you can google
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: it and find out alternatives if you don't want to
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: use event right, but there are other there are other
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: spaces as well. And when you are making announcements, it's
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: always that we want to make sure that we are
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: putting the event details. You want people to know what
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: is happening, the day and time that's happening, the location
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: there is that is happening at. And if it's virtual,
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: you want to include the virtual link so that people
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: can connect. You want to acknowledge your environment in it.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: What will you be doing and why is it exciting
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: to you? So you want if you're if you're going
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: to be the host, not acknowledge that you're going to
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: be the host, and not that you're going to be
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: the host, whatever position that you're gonna play, whatever role
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: you're playing in it. Let the people that support you

• 16:37
  Speaker 1: for day twenty. Y'all. We got one more day and
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: this challenge is complete. It is complete, And to be honest, y'all,
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: I have truly seen a difference on several of my
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: platforms just being active and being engaging. I've noticed that
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: my visibility has increased, even though you may not see
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: all the lights in the shares that you personally may
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: want to have. If you go to your analytics and
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: look at your analytics, you can exactly you can see
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: exactly excuse me, you can see exactly who who is
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: not the individual, but you can see exactly like if
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: it was in the US, if it was in the Netherlands,
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: if it was in Australia, wherever people are tuning in
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: and supporting you from. It shows you the percentage, and
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: it'll show you your increase. Y'all, My views have increased,
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: it says eight hundred percent. I went from twelve thousand
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: views to well over twenty eight thousand views. Because y'all know,
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: I wasn't using this page. My main page got shut
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: down for whatever reason. I'm not dwaging on it. I
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: had well over seven thousand, almost eight close to eight
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: thousand followers over there and supporters. For some reason, they
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: fell that I was a threat. They shut my page down,
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: so I no longer have that page. They have been
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: reviewing it since May the thirty first, and they keep
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: telling me I have these many days, these many days
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: to do a review, and it will not let me
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: do it again. So I've pretty much come to the
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: conclusion that once these one hundred and some days are up,
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: they're gonna shut my page down, Which is fine because
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: I always keep a backup plan, and that's what I
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: want you guys to do. Keep a backup plan, keep
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: something going, because everybody that's over here utilizing TikTok, you
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: better have you somewhere else. If y'all just think that
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: TikTok is the platform and that's the only platform you need,
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: you are sadly mistaken because as of September, the first
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: TikTok will no longer exist, and when they come back
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: in twenty twenty six, it's gonna be better. So I
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: want to encourage you guys to utilize your other platforms
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: and not put all your your eggs in one basket.
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: Because some of us we got all our eggs in
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: one basket. I see some of us we go live
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: over here seven and eight times a day like this
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: is our only job. Do not put all your eggs
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: in one basket. Please don't. If you are not utilizing
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: other platforms. I want to encourage you today to go
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: and utilize other platforms. Check out some of these other
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: platforms and get involved in those platforms. Sub Stack is
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: a great platform to utilize. You have the capability to
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: go live. I don't know how to go live the
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: way that some of them go live, but I go
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: live on my phone when I do want to go
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: live over there. So you have the capability to go live.
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: You have the capability to upload and have a podcast.
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: You have the capability to do a newsletter. I mean,
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: there's so many options that you have right there on
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: a free platform. And then you have the capability to monetize.
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: You can physical, you can monetize yourself. You have that
